Texas burger, a family reunion and Hana-Uta

i didn`t get to see them during my short February visit but finally we got to have a reunion today. Akemi and her husband Tsutomu and two cute kids Daigo (5) and Misa (3) and Akemi`s Mother (Noriko`s aunt. she is Noriko`s Father`s younger sister) drove from Suma (Kobe) this afternoon. it was also the first time for them to see Noriko`s Father since last November. he seemed very happy to see everyone. of course i took many photos and video of this family reunion in Minoo but it is late so i am only adding this one. more tomorrow. i am not going to mention why we finished dinner last night around 10pm but i will say tonite went much smoother. i am watching the Hana-Uta music special on NHK and getting ready for bed. oh, before the family reunion Noriko and i ran a few errands and then stopped my Makudo (McDonald`s) for a quick lunch. she had the Happy Set-o and i had the new Texas burger. it was pretty good but i really wanted the new Zenmai Zamurai omocha (toy).

Daigo and Misa

ok, a few more . . .

the newest in Misa fashion

Daigo and i went for an osanpo (walk).

neko neko. Daigo and i saw these cats in a window on our walk. he thought the black one looked a little kowai not kawaii (scary not cute).
